When Guns N' Roses released their 'Use Your Illusion I' and 'Use Your Illusion II' albums in the fall of 1991, large retail chains such as Wal-Mart and K-Mart refused to stock the titles because of the explicit lyrical content featured on tracks such as 'Back Off Bitch' and 'Pretty Tied Up.'

On Aug. 18, 1986, Bon Jovi released 'Slippery When Wet,' the album that would make them international superstars -- but not before needing three wildly different attempts to get the album artwork finished.

Kiss founders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons are now among the owners of a professional football team, which will be called the LA Kiss and will use the band's famous logo on their helmets. We can only imagine what the uniforms are going to look like.

After months of speculation, Eagles drummer Don Henley has revealed which of the band's former guitarists (and yes, we included the bass) will and won't be rejoining them for their 'History of the Eagles' tour.

Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman has died at the age of 49, according to a statement released by the band today (May 2). He was with the group since their formation in 1981, and appeared on each of their studio albums, most recently 2009's 'World Painted Blood.'

Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil underwent successful surgery to remove the kidney stones that forced the band's Sunday night (March 10) concert in Sydney, Australia to be cut short so the singer could be rushed to the hospital.

On October 14, 1977, barely two years after the release of their career-electrifying concert album 'Alive!,' Kiss unleashed its first sequel, 'Alive II.' In retrospect, this event may have marked the peak -- and also the beginning of the end -- of the group's first golden era.
